Elite Veteran Posts: 667	Just wanting to see if anyone had any opinions on these X-rays. Diagnosis was a fractured sesamoid bone. Before and after X-rays in the pics. Do they look any better? Does he have any hope for a barrel future? Anyone experienced this before? Completely sound in the pasture at this time. Has not been put back to work yet. Thanks man advance.

Not Afraid to Work Posts: 4717	I don't have much experience reading x-rays but I had an OTTB with a broken sesmoid bone. We removed a chip as a precaution and brought him back slow. He went on to run barrels and eventually did 3 day eventing. I was always told it was the best break to have because it is non-weight bearing. Good luck

Location: Not Where I Want to Be	It's typically not that big of a deal with youngsters and tends to lend itself more towards cosmetic as they grow older. The break/chip/fracture will usually scar up and not move. Older, I've never dealt with but would think it would requre more time and possible removal

Elite Veteran Posts: 667	The vet has said it has calcified some. He hasn't said anything about a chip in there. I don't know if it is something that will break off or just calcify and heal up in the next few years.
